How can you test for compliance readiness?

Testing for compliance readiness involves verifying authentication setup, unsubscribe functionality, and monitoring complaint rates. Multiple testing approaches ensure comprehensive coverage of all requirements.

For authentication, send test messages and examine headers for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC pass results. Use online tools to validate DNS records. Check alignment between authentication domains and your From header domain.

For unsubscribe compliance, verify List-Unsubscribe headers are present in marketing messages. Test the unsubscribe URL by simulating POST requests. Confirm your system properly removes unsubscribed addresses. Monitor complaint rates through postmaster tools and feedback loops to verify you meet threshold requirements.
